La Beaujolaise Nouveau arrivera sur le 19eme Novembre …
… and we’ll be awaiting its arrival at the Village Gate to intercept it as it arrives to ‘enjoy’ the new arrival and truly enjoy the four course menu that it will accompany.
The new owner of the Village Gate, David Cavalier, has brought this restaurant to new heights in food and drink (though he’ll, no doubt have reservations about the Nouveau!).
He has achieved seven Michelin stars in his 35 year career and his vision is to bring quality food and drink to Wendover offering a family friendly service and value for money. Local ingredients and skill make the dining experience unforgettable.
Here are the details of the event. This will be popular so make sure you get booking if you want to go!

What Extreme Heights the WTU3A goes to …
Well, these two do as they were the chief movers in the most recent Extreme Visits activity – abseiling down the side of the Spinnaker Tower at Portsmouth Harbour.
They lead a large contingent from Weston Turville, accompanied by a number from other U3As and took over the venue for the day each abseiling 100 metres to the ground.
Pictures of the event are shown below – eventually we’ll get names on the screen and perhaps comments form those involved. These are also on show in the Gallery pages.

A solar eclipse can only happen at new moon, when the moon directly blocks sight of the sun from certain places in the world.
